Investigators say 62-year-old Curtis Holliday killed 29-year-old Chi Thi Lien Le.

A man has received a 10-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to the murder of his wife. She went missing in April 2020, and a month later, investigators found her remains inside a freezer at Holliday's business. Holliday, who was charged in July 2020, was scheduled to start his trial Monday but waived it in favor of a guilty plea.

Holliday has been ordered to turn himself in on July 19th to begin serving his ten-year sentence. The case has spotlighted the severe impact of domestic violence and its fatal consequences.Holliday's lawyer Dick DeGuerin, says the plea deal was the best option for his client, who he says didn't kill his wife. While the medical examiner ruled the manner of death homicide in the case, the cause of death was never determined.
